Fashionromance Stories

It's the summer of 1981. "Taps" is in theatres; "The Best of Times" by Styx is climbing the charts and Charles and Di are about to walk down the aisle. Meanwhile 15-year-old Wendy Riley is plotting her grand escape from Averagehood, a bedroom she shares with her five-year-old brother and a daily detention schedule for being a little too generous with her answers to a fateful History 10 quiz. In a story that is one part coming of age on the stage, one part romance warmed over a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, and two parts homage to Eighties fashion, music and movies, Wendy begins to see her family, friends and foils for who they really are. "The Pearl Inside of Everything" is an unforgettable collection of funny, fierce and foibled characters that celebrates the best of the days when shoulder pads were big, hair was bigger and all you needed to get a dream off the ground was a boost of E.L.O. and a couple of beagles who know how to tangle.

Until Rafael "Paeng" De Torre walks into her world. A magnetic, enigmatic investor and a confident transman, Paeng moves with quiet authority and a presence that unsettles even the untouchable Lea. He sees what no one else does: the strength beneath her perfection, the vulnerability she hides, and the desire she refuses to acknowledge. In a city of glittering glass towers, couture ateliers, and high-stakes galas, every glance is a negotiation. Every encounter is charged with tension. And between boardrooms and red carpets, power, control, and desire collide-and rules are rewritten. Silk and steel. Shadow and intent. And a passion neither of them can resist. An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.
